User Guide

INTRODUCTION
Common Sense Precautions
Before starting any exercise program, consult with
your physician or health professional. He or she can
help establish the exercise frequency, intensity and
time appropriate for your particular age and condition. If you have any pain or tightness in your chest,
an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, feel faint,
or have any discomfort while you exercise, STOP!
Consult your physician before continuing. Failure to
follow any of these safeguards may result in injury or
serious health problems.
Congratulations! Youve purchased the best fluid
trainer available, pure and simple. The CycleOps JetFluidTM Pro offers the ultimate in real-world feel for
the widest range of riders possible.
The CycleOps JetFluidTM Pro takes the legendary CycleOps Fluid technology to the next level by offering
a progressive power curve, increasing resistance as
you increase speed, just like on the road. The power
curve is paired to the CycleOps JetFluidTM Pro flywheel using PowerTuned technology, ensuring the
proper balance between resistance and momentum
to best replicate the feeling of riding outdoors. The
patented Airflow channel maintains operating temperature for a smooth ride and durable operation,
backed up by our lifetime warranty.
This user guide will take you through setting up the
CycleOps JetFluidTM Pro trainer and frame, and thoroughly explains how to use the CycleOps JetFluidTM
progressive Power curve to give you an edge over
the competition.

Do not remove feet from pedals while cycling.

Do not attempt to ride the bike at high RPMs or in
a standing position until you have practiced at
lower RPMs.
Do not place fingers or any other objects into
moving parts of the trainer or bicycle.
Keep children and pets away from your bike and
the trainer while in use. Do not allow children to
ride on your bike.
Never turn pedal crank arms by hand. To avoid
entanglement and possible injury, do not expose
hands or arms to the drive mechanism.
Do not dismount from your bike until both the
pedals and the rear wheel are at a complete STOP.

1.2: Trainer Setup

1.3: Attaching your Bike to the Trainer

To your trainer up, extend the legs as shown below,

then set the trainer on a flat surface.

The CycleOps JetFluidTM Pro trainer is designed to be

used with the provided skewer. Replace the skewer
on the rear wheel of your bike with the one provided.
Make sure the quick release handle is on the left side
of the bicycle and faces upward.

Press

Extend

Rotate the yellow skewer clamp knob clockwise to

allow sufficient clearance for your skewer.
Turn the thumb wheel to adjust the leg and level the
frame as shown below.

Pull the yellow cam lever down and rotate 90 degrees clockwise to unlatch the resistance unit. Pivot
the resistance unit down to allow clearance for your
rear wheel.
CAUTION: In this position the resistance unit can
move freely, keep fingers clear of moving parts.
Latch the resistance unit in a down position by rotating the cam lever 90 degrees counter clockwise and
push the cam lever against the resistance unit.

Lift your bike up by the seatpost and insert the right

side (drive side) of the skewer into the fixed cone on
the corresponding side of the frame.
Align the left side of the skewer with the adjustable
cone, lining the notches in the cone up with the
quick release handle/lever. Rotate the yellow skewer
clamp knob as shown below to secure your rear
wheel into the trainer. Securely tighten the knob
until tightly in place.

Note: Your bike does not need to be centered on the

roller for it to function properly
Pull the yellow cam lever down and rotate 90 degrees clockwise to unlatch the resistance unit. Push
the resistance unit towards your rear wheel until the
roller contacts the tire. Latch the resistance unit by
rotating the cam lever 90 degrees counter clockwise,
while holding the resistance unit. Compress the
roller against the tire by pulling up on the cam lever
as shown below.

1.5 Detaching your Bike from the Trainer

Pull the yellow cam lever down and rotate 90 degrees clockwise to unlatch the resistance unit. Pivot
the resistance unit down to allow clearance for your
rear wheel. Latch the resistance unit by rotating the
cam lever 90 degrees counter clockwise and pushing
up.
Hold your bike by the seatpost. Rotate the yellow
skewer clamp knob counter clockwise to release
your bike.

The resistance unit should be tight enough to prevent the tire from slipping during accelerations.
A small indentation will be seen in the tire when
tightened properly. If slipping occurs, increase tire
compression by re-latching the resistance unit. Pull
the yellow cam lever further down while performing
the initial unlatching step.
Note: If the cam lever pops open while riding, move
the resistance unit and mount it to the front bolt
hole as shown below. Most tires will fit using either
mounting hole. Larger tires including 29 MTB tires
require mounting to the rear hole.

Note: Be certain your tires are inflated to their proper

pressure. Knobby tires will cause noise and vibration.
For best results, use a slick-tread tire. Note that any
stationary trainer will increase the wear on your tires.
Using harder rubber composed tires will improve
their life.
